Explanation of those NineBall hiflow valves.

[Gooseman]

Does anyone know how those steel balls that come with the NineBall hi-flow valves improve gas flow in the mags? Was hoping Mad Max could comment on this

[ILLusion]

from what i could gather, and from what my contact in Hong Kong have told me, you just dump the bearings into the chamber, and the action of them rolling around in the chamber is supposed to somehow evenly distribute the liquified gas... y'know... swirl the impurities and temperature around to make sure it's even from top to bottom.

I never realized this till 'tax' mentioned it to me, but the balls get lodged inside the chamber... and don't do anything but take up space after the first couple of mags. I didn't even realize that my mag hasn't been "rattling" for the longest time now...


I suppose the theory is to sustain a more consistent gas output.

yah.. I installed the bearings a few different ways inside the mags and I found them to be useless. The bearings seem to be too small and get stuck inside the cracks of the mag. When I get more time, I will source out some bearings that are lightly bigger and test the mags again. When I used the Nineball bearing I couldn't even fire off on mag with out them getting stuck
